VIDEO: $2Million McLaren F1 Spontaneously Combusts in California

Picture this: it's a beautiful day, the sun is shining and you decide to take your prized McLaren F1 for a spin after six months of storage. All is great until you notice smoke coming out of the engine bay that houses the 627HP 6.1-liter BMW-derived V12. You pull over to take a looks and the next thing you know, the car is up in flames. This story actually happened yesterday, June 1, 2009, to Irv Kessler, 53, of Minnesota, as he was driving on Airport Boulevard in Santa Rosa California. .

As you can see in the video below, the McLaren F1, which was worth an estimated $2 million but was allegedly insured for $3 million (we know what you're thinking...), was a complete loss.

Pretty sad if you consider that from a total of 100 McLaren F1s, only 72 were road cars (including five F1 LM versions and three street-legal F1 GTs). The remaining 28 were race cars built for private customers competing in the FIA GT series and the 24 hours of Le Mans.

Ouch... Brand New Chevy Camaro SS gets Totaled by Teen with no Insurance nor Drivers License

It's a motorist's most horrific nightmare - buying a brand new car and getting into a total loss situation even before the odometer clocks a few thousand miles. That's what happened to Camaro5 forumster "Dertybr" when his spanking new 2010 Camaro SS was rear-ended last week by a teenager in a Ford Escape. To make matters worse for Dertybr, the teen not only lacked any type of insurance, but didn't even have a driver's license. We don't know what happened after the crash, but it sure sounds like a recipe for a human accident, if you get our drift.

Fortunately for Dertybr, his insurance replacement protection plan covered the total loss of the Camaro SS, meaning that he will be receiving a new car. Still, it sure does take out all the fun of buying a new car, doesn't it...
